Dora M. Stewart, 91, died on Friday, Dec. 26, 2014, at Miller’s Merry Manor, Plymouth.

Born in Baltimore, Md., on July 18, 1923, she was a daughter of Charles and Julia Alder.

Stewart married Charles O. Stewart, Jr. in Illinois in 1946. He died in 1980.

She was well known for her business acumen; kindness; compassion; love for animals; and deep generosity to family, friends, and to those less fortunate; but most of all for her courage and resilience in the face of many losses in life.

She is survived by two sons: Charles O. Stewart III, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, and Christopher Eric Stewart, South Bend; three grandchildren: Chance Stewart, Waco, Texas, Peter Stewart, Indianapolis, and Molly Papp, Long Beach, Calif.; and two great-grandchildren: Oscar Stewart, Waco, Texas, and Priscilla Stewart, Indianapolis.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Charles; and a son, Craig James Stewart, who died in 1964.

A private burial will be held at Oakhill Cemetery, Plymouth.

Funeral arrangements were handled by Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home in Plymouth.
